Route a Purchase Order to the Right Approver
For POs that wait because nobody knows who approves them. DuckyHelper reads the PO, checks it against your thresholds and budget, routes it, and drafts a clarifying email to the requester when something's off.
“Check this PO against our policy and budget, route it to the right approver, and draft questions if it's over threshold.”

It's built to wait for your OK.
It does the work, then stops with the Slack post ready for you. You see exactly what it wrote, then Send, Edit or Deny.
If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.

What do I say?
Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud, in your own words, like "Check this PO against our policy and budget, route it to the right approver, and draft questions if it's over threshold."
Why is the second time faster?
The first time, it writes small JavaScript tools for Precoro, Gmail and Slack and builds an API from each site's own buttons, forms and requests. After that it calls them directly, so the job runs in one go instead of click by click. It costs less and breaks less.
Will it send anything without me?
It's built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything, and to wait for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers: you sign in yourself, and it picks up from there.
Why not just do it by hand?
Purchase orders wait while people work out the policy, the budget and who signs.
